Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Baby, Zoo, Vacation...Yeah

A few weeks ago we headed out on a 10 day vacation!  And if that was not great enough, I got to add in holding our little guy again!  At 5 months old he was getting a lot more interactive and Hannah and Caleb really enjoyed that part!
Ryan was such a trooper heading out to the zoo with us after a graveyard shift.  Notice the sunshine--oh glorious sunshine after a Pacific Northwest winter.  Harrison was really enjoying the zoo experience, snoozing on Grandpa's chest!
Hannah loves big sister time.  She really misses both of her big sisters a lot.  She asks me often when we are going to Hawaii---not because she want to see the beach  and sand, but for Erinn.
We were enjoying the close up of all animals enjoying the sun.  The one little guy played dead like this for a few minutes.  The kids thought it was great.
I have never had such a good view of Gorillas.  I was loving this one.
He was so majestic.
This guy just scowled at us, like he wanted us to quit bothering him!
So much fun!
This guy was so close and so ugly in a beautiful way.  Do you ever stop and think of how amazing creation is and how varied?  And that God chose to make such different looking creatures.  Beautiful!
Danielle and Ryan enjoying the day.
Caleb enjoying being an uncle.  Harrison was so content for a long time looking at the animals with Caleb.
Hannah and her PINK flamingos.  Danielle jokingly asked her which was her favorite---and without hesitation, she turned around and showed her!  She also got to push Harrison in the stroller.  Her dream come true!

How fun - so happy for you and your family. The quote you have at the beginning of Wilberforce (sp - it disappeared when I'm doing the comment) :o) "Amazing Grace" is Tim's favorite movie - he can watch it over and over! Miss you guys!
